Stephen Colbert defends Rick Perry’s debate performance, sort of

Stephen Colbert likes (or at least “likes”) him some Rick Perry. He’s been calling for the governor to run since before Perry’s “The Response” prayer rally last month. On last night’s Colbert Nation, Colbert defended (sort of) the governor by comparing him to another frequently tongue-tied Texas-governor/POTUS and reiterated his fondness for Perry.

“It is impossible to overstate the horrific nature of Perry’s debate performance,” Cobert continued. “At this point, there is only one thing to say about Perry: I like the guy.”
